Default gas won't go in

om...
I have always had a hard time filling my gas tank up. When I would go
fast it would spill out the vent. I even made a thing to catch the gas
as it spills. But today, the second gas stop of the season, (the first
was to top off the tank),when I went to fill her up the gas came out
the tube that I was trying to pump it in. I tried all different angles
and even had them slow the gas down as much as they could. I even went
to a second gas station. I could not get even a cup worth of gas to go
in with out comming out. 2 gas stations, a total of $7 dollars of gas
and I don't think any of it went in the tank. I am thinking that
either the gas hose or the vent hose is clogged, bent, squeezed or
creature has moved in. I even tried to put a coat hanger in to see of
I could find anything.
I KNOW THAT THIS IS ONE WAY TO KEEP MY GAS COST DOWN BUT.........
Does anyone have any ideas thanks


Blow in the vent and see if it is plugged. May have been a mud dauber wasp
or similar creature taking up residence.
